WHAT IS THE FUNCTION OF THE VALVES FOUND IN THE HEART?

back 16

THE VALVES ENFORCE A ONE-WAY BLOOD FLOW THROUGH THE HEART CHAMBERS. PREVENTS BACK-FLOW OF BLOOD.

A SIMPLE SCHEMATIC OF GENERAL CIRCULATION IS SHOWN. WHAT PART OF THE CIRCULATION IS MISSING FROM THIS DIAGRAM? ____1_____ ADD TO THE DIAGRAM AS BEST YOU CAN TO MAKE IT DEPICT A COMPLETE SYSTEMIC/PULMONARY CIRCULATION. LABEL THE SYSTEMIC AND PULMONARY CIRCULATION

Ok, so you’re using my notecards which is great. I am glad I could help you out cause I wish I had someone to help me out when I took this course. I know Anatomy is super hard.

back 19

I only ask that if you find these notecards helpful, you join pictureone.ru and create at least one notecard set to help others out. It can be for any subject or class. Thanks and don’t forget to rate my helpfulness!

DURING THE SHEEP HEART DISSECTION, YOU WERE ASKED INITIALLY TO IDENTIFY THE RIGHT AND LEFT VENTRICLES WITHOUT CUTTING INTO THE HEART. DURING THIS PROCEDURE, WHAT DIFFERENCES DID YOU OBSERVE BETWEEN THE TWO CHAMBERS?

back 20

LEFT VENTRICLE FELT THICK AND SOLID, AND THE RIGHT FELT MORE THINNER AND EASILY MOVED AND FLABBY.

front 21

WHEN YOU MEASURED THICKNESS OF VENTRICULAR WALLS, WAS THE RIGHT OR LEFT VENTRICLE THICKER?

back 21

LEFT VENTRICLE

front 22

KNOWING THAT STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION ARE RELATED, HOW WOULD YOU SAY THIS STRUCTURAL DIFFERENCE REFLECTS THE RELATIVE FUNCTIONS OF THESE TWO HEART CHAMBERS?

back 22

THERES A GREATER DEMAND ON THE LONGER SYSTEMIC CIRCULATION (L. VENTRICLE) AND HAS A HIGHER RESISTANCE THEN THE PULMONARY CIRCULATION (R. VENTRICLE)

SEMILUNAR VALVES PREVENT BACKFLOW INTO THE __1__; MITRAL AND TRICUSPID VALVES PREVENT BACK-FLOW INTO THE __2__.

front 24

USING YOUR OWN OBSERVATIONS; EXPLAIN HOW THE OPERATION OF THE SEMILUNAR VALVES DIFFERS FROM THAT OF THE MITRAL AND TRICUSPID VALVES.

back 24

THE MITRAL VALVE (ANCHORD TO CHORDAE TENDINEAE) ALLOWS THE BLOOD TO FLOW FROM THE LEFT ATRIUM INTO LEFT VENTRICLE, TRICUSPID VALVE STOPS BACKFLOW OF BLOOD BETWEEN THE TWO (MITRAL AND TRICUSPID VALVES). THE SEMILUNAR VALVES (DONT HAVE CHORDAE TENDINEAE)PERMIT BLOOD TO BE FOCED INTO THE ARTERIES BUT PREVENT BACKFLOW OF BLOOD FROM THE ARTERIES INTO THE VENTRICLES

front 25

COMPARE AND CONTRAST THE STRUCTURE OF THE MITRAL AND TRICUSPID VALVES.

back 25

THE MITRAL VALVE CONTAINS 2 FLAPS, AND THE TRICUSPID VALVE HAS A THREE FLAPPED VALVE.

front 26

TWO REMNANTS OF FETAL STRUCTURES ARE OBSERVABLE IN THE HEART - THE LIGAMENTUM ARTERIOSUM AND THE FOSSA OVALIS. WHAT WERE THEY CALLED IN THE FETAL HEART, WHERE WAS EACH LOCATED, AND WHAT COMMON PURPOSE DID THEY SERVE AS FUNCTIONING FETAL STRUCTURES?

back 26

LIGAMENTUM ARTERIOSUM- CALLED (DUCTUS ARTERIOSUS) IN FETAL HEART, LOCATED BETWEEN PULMONARY TRUNK AND AORTIC ARCH. IN ADULTS LIGAMENT THERE NOW. ALLOWS BLOOD TO FLOW FROM THE PULMONARY TRUNK TO SYSTEMIC CIRCULATION.

FOSSA OVALIS - CALLED (FORAMEN OVALE) IN FETAL HEART, LOCATED ON RIGHT ATRIUM WALL (ALSO WALL OF RIGHT VENTRICLE). ALLOWED BLOOD TO ENTER THE LEFT ATRIUM FROM THE RIGHT ATRIUM.

front 27

DIFFERENTIATE CLEARLY BETWEEN THE ROLES OF THE PULMONARY AND SYSTEMIC CIRCULATIONS.

back 27

DIFFERENCE IS THAT PULMONARY CIRCULATION IS STRICTLY TO PROVIDE GAS EXCHANGE IN THE LUNGS; WHEREAS THE SYSTEMIC CIRCULATION PROVIDES THE FUNCTIONAL BLOOD SUPPLY TO ALL BODY TISSUES.

front 28

CIRCULATION OF A RED BLOOD CELL IN THE HUMAN BODY:

RIGHT ATRIUM THROUGH THE TRICUSPID VALVE TO THE __1__, THROUGH THE __2__ VALVE TO THE PULMONARY TRUNK, TO THE __3__, TO THE CAPILLARY BEDS OF THE LUNGS, TO THE __4__, TO THE __5__ OF THE HEART, THROUGH THE __6__ VALVE TO THE __7__, THROUGH THE __8__ VALVE TO THE __9__, TO THE SYSTEMIC ARTERIES, TO THE __10__ OF THE TISSUES, TO THE SYSTEMIC VEINS, TO THE __11__, __12__, AND __13__ ENTERING THE RIGHT ATRIUM OF THE HEART.

IF THE MITRAL VALVE DOES NOT CLOSE PROPERLY, WHICH CIRCULATION IS AFFECTED?

back 29

PULMONARY CIRCULATION

WHY MIGHT A THROMBUS (BLOOD CLOT) IN THE ANTERIOR DESCENDING BRANCH OF THE LEFT CORONARY ARTERY CAUSE SUDDEN DEATH?

back 30

A THROMBUS IN THE CORONARY ARTERY CAN CUT OFF THE BLOOD SUPPLY TO THE HEART, RESULTING IN THE VERY RAPID DEATH.

front 31

HOW WOULD YOU DISTINGUISH THE STRUCTURE OF CARDIAC MUSCLE FROM THAT OF SKELETAL MUSCLE?

back 31

SKELETAL MUSCLE IS LONG, SYLINDRICAL, MULTINUCLEATED CELLS AND HAS OBVIOUS STRIATIONS. BUT CARDIAC MUSCLES ARE BRANCHING, STRIATED, HAVE USUALLY UNI-NUCLEATED CELLS THAT INTERDIGITATE AT THE JUNCTIONS (INTERCALATED DISCS)

front 32

DESCRIBE THE UNIQUE ANATOMICAL FEATURES OF CARDIAC MUSCLE. WHAT ROLE DOES THE UNIQUE STRUCTURE OF CARDIAC MUSCLE PLAY IN ITS FUNCTION?

back 32

THE UNIQUE FEATURE IS THE INTERCALATED DISCS. THE INTERCALATED DISCS HAVE TWO IMPORTANT FUNCTIONS: 1. IT HOLDS THE MYOCYTES TOGETHER SO THAT THEY DO NOT PULL APART WHEN THE HEART CONTRACTS; 2. IS TO ALLOW AN ELECTRICAL CONNECTION BETWEEN THE CELLS, WHICH IS VITAL TO THE FUNCTION OF THE HEART AS A WHOLE. ALSO HAS MANY MITOCHONDRIA THAT PROVIDE ENERGY REQUIRED FOR CONTRACTION.
